Hi,
I have a server with an Asus A7V8X-X motherboard and a Intel 1000 Pro MT
Gigabit ethernet card. I have only had the Gigabit card for a few days,
and all seemed to be well to start with -- but today the card has started
to stop passing data after fairly high network load (for instance it
always stops some way through transferring 4 x 500MB files from a Windows
machine to a drive in the machine using samba).
After it stops passing data it's impossible to ping the machine, or to
ping other machines from the machine.
However, the strange bit is that a simple 'ifconfig em0 down &&
ifconfig
em0 up' "fixes" the problem.
I've just spent quite a few hours messing about -- first of all upgrading
the machine from 5.3-STABLE to 5.4 to 5.4-STABLE, but with no improvement.
I've also tried Intel's official driver with no improvement. I've
disabled
'apic' in the kernel config, disabled ACPI from the loader, changed the
interrupt mode in the BIOS from 'apic' to 'pic', disabled the
USB
controllers and various other things, all to no avail.
The machine is connected to a SMC EZ 5 port Gigabit switch.
Any input greatfully received, I am completely stumped, particularly as it
seemed to work for a few days.
(see below sigature for dmesg)
